A delightful twist on the classic cranberry sauce, this recipe incorporates fresh orange zest and juice for a tangy and vibrant flavor.
Combine the fresh cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from boiling over.
Add the orange zest and juice, along with the ground cinnamon, to the saucepan.
Use a zester to finely grate the orange zest for maximum flavor.
Simmer the mixture until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Transfer the relish to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
Chilling the relish enhances its flavor and texture.
